Hardy Phlox • Phlox decussata 
Flowering through the summer months, in 
whites, delicate pinks, and lilac tones to the

limited possibilities for harmonious color 
blends. New creations added annually rank 
them supreme among perennials. 
Simple of culture, they require a rich soil. 
Frequent feedings will insure richer flower- 
trusses. Removing flower-heads after bloom¬ 
ing-time, thus encouraging new flowers from 
side shoots, will lengthen the blooming period 
and help to eliminate unwanted seedlings.
